CORN-EXCIIANGR, JAN. 2i .—We had consi derable Arrivals of all sorts of Grain this morn ing, hut very few buyers at market, as they ap pear to be waiting for still further supplies ex pected, consequently we quote the prices nomi nally the same as On Monday, except in some few instances ; where the sales are forced, lower prices have been taken. There have been three Cabinet Courreits within these t,w dars. (J Friday a Council was held at the Foreign Office, whlc:u Nits numerously at l'ended.

Doctor Dowx, at present Surgeon of the Flag ship in the Mediterranean, and formerly Surgeon of the Queen Charlotte, when bearing the flag of Admiral Lord Keith, Commander in Chief of the Channel Fleet, has been appointed by his Royal 1-ligline:s the Duke of Clarence, to be one of Iris Royal Highness's Physician in Ordinary.

CITY BUSINESS.—A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday, and much routine business was transacted but the only circumstance of public interest was a resolution, which was ewer(' to, respecting becgars and vagrants infesting the streets, enjoining the parish-otlicers to cause them to be - apprehended and brought before the LORD MAYOR or Sitting Alderman, in order to their being passed to their parishes, or otherwise dealt with according to law.

LORD CASTLEREAGH'S ENTERTAINMENT. ills Lordship gave an elegant entertainment on Mond y, at his residence in St. Ja►nes's-square, 'n a large ►arty of personages, among whom W f' I C-•-• The Duke and Duchess San .Carlos the Russian Ambas sador and hi s Lady, Monsieur and M adame De Bourke, the Ambassador from the King of the Netherlands, Baron Fa.:fel, General D'Ojarowshy, Monsieur de Politica, Baron Elnmbol,ft, Monsieur de Bulow, Monsieur de Engestroin, Count Lust, Baron Sternhold, the Lord Chancellor, Earl of Liverpool, Earl Harrowby, Lord Sidruonth, Lord Stewart, Count and Countess NI Onster,,Mr. Plants, &c. Ina the event ing her Ladyship entertained near 100 fashionables, including the dinner party; also were present—the Duke and Duchess of Montrose, the Ladies Graham, Lord and Lady Ellenho ritagh, Lord and L4dy Melville, Miss Lass, &c, Yesterday his Lordship entertained another 1:11 . ;;e party, aolow~ l . whom were— _ - - Prince E , sterhazy, the French Ambassador and his Lady, Count Conntesi D'Ostuond, Countess PAlmella, Donua Catherine (le Snuzas, Baron Pfetfel, Count d'Ae;lie.

THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE.--NIiSS SMITHSON, from the Dub lin Stage, made her first Appearance last night as Miss Hardy, in the bustling but flimsy comedy of The Belle's Stratagem. Miss SmrTrisoNt is young, possesses- a fine figure, and an agreeable 'ace. Her voice in speaking is well-toned, her utterance is without affectatiOn, and .her ac tion also is unaffected, if not graceful. The part demands not only variety of powers, but entire . self-possession; and therefore it would be to decide hastily on the general merits of a young lady on he, first appearance before so awful a tribunal as a London audience. Alto gether she acquitted herself respectably, which is as much as could reasonably be expected.— There were other changes in the performance Mrs. ROBINSON was the Lady Frances Touchwood, instead of Mrs. URGER. We suppose there must be some good reason for this change, as Mrs. OnGr.tt was so pleasing a representative before ; but it would be injustice : tia-Mrs.---floancsoN not to - admit that she gave kdelicate.interest to the part, and that it was a promising specimen ,of what her comic powers may become by prac tice. The other change was the allotment of Doricourt to STANLEY, instead of RAE, certainly 1101 to the advantage of the character. COVENT-GARDEN.—Th e absence of Miss STE PHENS occasioned' the assignment of Lucy .Ber tram, in Guy Mannering, last night, to Mrs. GAR... RICK, formerly Miss GRAY, of this Theatre. She is a lively Actress ; and if she had not follo , ved such • a singer as Miss STEPHENS, her musical powers would no doubt have. appeared to greater advantage. Last -n;itlit's Gazell e dolence to rite PRINCE. RFGENT from the linrgh of Dingtrall, the Burgh of Kirkby in Kendal, and from the Stoat us Acadernicus of the University of Edinburgh. We are happy to contradict the statement of a man having had his arm broken, and other per sons being serionsly,,hurt, by the giving way of the poles in extricating the horses of the Salis bury coach out of the immense depth at, the bot tom of Sonthamptort-street. There- Was much confusion and mat), plans suggested for extri cating the animals, which was promply effected by Mr. CROSS, proprietor of the Exeter 'Change Menagerie, who collected his men together,, fur nishen with necessary tackling, with which, when properly affixed _under Mr. C.'s direct ion, they were at length brought to the surface alive. The horses were immediately bled. ANOTHER ACCIDENT TO A CI-lININEY.SWEEPER'S APPRENTICE 110y.---Oti Monday, about 3 o'clock in -the afternoon, one 'of Davis's (Theobald's• road) .boys came to sweep the two pair. stairs chimney of 'Rockall, green-grocer, 52," Upper King-street, .Bloomsbury—he had no one to as sist` him. Shortly afterwards Rockall and his wife (who expects •to he brought to bed every minute) were greatly. alarmed by the crying of the boy, who said he was fixed in the chimney. Rockall, who evinced great anxiety and huma nity, in vain endeavoured to find out where he was in the fine, after breaking it open in several places. The boy cried Out murder, and that he „Was dying. Rockall rim after Davis, who was not at home, and then, with no more success, to ' another chimney-sweeper. Davis at length came himself, and alter destroying a' great part of the chimney, and putting the owner to more than 2/. expense, extricated the boy, who was nearly ex hausted. The boy was. confined in the flue up wards of an hour in imminent danger. CHILD - STEAL;NG;-Sevcral children have been stolen lately about the Regent's Park for the sake of the clothes. A fine girl, three years old, (laughter of Mr. Mejoe, of-Nottingham-place, was got away from a credulous nursery-maid, in Alpha-road, on Monday, lay a decently dressed . woman, who called her by her name, and pretend ed to have nursed her : she affected much kind-. ness, and begged to take the child for her daugh ter to see, pointing to a neighbouring cottage. The girl, who had two other children, consented, and the child was found stripped in the .fields ao hour after. DEAL BOATMEN. FOR TUE SUN. EDITOR,—A report being prevalent at Deal, that it was the intention of. a son of the late Sir LlOsitcE MANN to offer himself. a Caio to represent Ole Town and Port of Sand wicla at the next General Election, in opposition to Sir JOSEPH YORKE, to be supported by all the Sandwich Freemen ,vho arc 13Qatmen oI Dal, owing - (it is whispered) to the Ilon. Baronet not having interest edhiinself on behalf of some of those persona with qoVernment, in the way of ins ligation,' &e. as they exPecked, I lost no time in.. *cuing off for London, and on my arrival this evening have been somewhat surprised at reading . in the Morning Papers reflections upon several StareflleillS which have appeared in your Paper, relative to the proceedings of the Mayor and Ma gistrates of Deal,, in committing two Gentlemen, of his Majesty's ship Severn, to trial for a capital offence, acting, it will appear at the trial, in their own defence, and in ,the execution of their boun den ditty. - A long resident of Deal, and having at tended the examinations, I can s afely assert, that my own mind, as well as that of other respectable peysons, was quite s atisfied upon the f acts , as • you stated them ; and I can attest, with equal confidence, notwithstanding the observation in the paragraph alluded to—that fire-arms have been discharged close to Captain M'CuLLocx and his Officers, either for the purposes of in. injury or intimidation, anti whether in the streets or vicinity of Deal, is not important. To prove the spirit by which the Fair 'Traders are actuated, I mention another occurrence equally trite : '' Upon one occasion two marines of the Severn were barbarously fired at, and sae; ely wounded, (~ bile quietly sitting on the beach) by two Smugglers, who, in the most dastardly manner, - crawled 'Title beach, anti, unseen, took a deli berate aim. Of the feeling existing in the minds of some persons here, upon the resistance so gal lantly given by the two 'young Gentlemen' of the Severn, in the execution of their duty, and against the ferocious attacks made npon them by the Smugglers, some idea may he formed when Mr. Edward Iggulden, the Mayor of. Deal, did not hesitate to designate them (in speaking to• a Gentleman) as " blood-thirsty rascals and pup. pies ! !" I think, in justice, all parties should be heard, which is the reason of my sending these hasty observations for insertion in THE SUN, to cbun teract the evident tendency of the paragraph quoted. . • VERAX, of Lteal And, St. 'Clement's, Tuesday Evening, Jan. 20, 18ES - 'WtYNOU ell, JAN. 17. PRINCE LEOPOLD. Last Sunday 'his Serene Highness Prince LeoPoLD, and the whole of his Establishment, observes; the solemnities of the Sabbath in a pri• vale manner at Came House : the Rev. Dr. ENGLAND officiated. The next day this amiable Prince and attendants took a ride on hOrsebark over Bincombe Down, through the village of Preston, and from thence to the Turnpike-gate leading to this town. Here this Illustrious Personage stopped for a consider- able time . , surveying the distant bays, esplanlde, and different buildings. His Serene Highness appeared in deep meditation ; and' it was obserVed that he did not communicate his ideas of , the diffe rent prospects to Sir Robert Gardiner or Baron Ilardenbrooke, hut quitted the scene in a state of mind absorbed in the deepest melan c holy.— The parry retired by the way of Radipole Bar racks to . Carne to dinner. On Thursday 'morning ., ' Prince Voroniesky and , . General Count D'Ojerrnwsky, two limssian No hlernen, arrived at Came House, charged 'with Letters of Condolence to the Prince from ihe Emperor Alexander, They left Came the same ' evening, on their return to the Pavilion at Brighton. *The unfavourable weather this week has pre vented his Serene Highness from enjoying his usual walks and sports of the field ; hut, we are happy in having it in our power to say, that Om air of Dorsttshire has already produced a visible amendment in his health, and that Prince Leo pold is highly gratified with the rural situation of Came in, particular, and the country in general. The Earl of Ilchester, and several other dis tinguished Characters, have this week paid morn ing visits 'of enquiry, but his Serene Highness's spirits are still so depressed as eo prevent the ho nour of an interview. The festivities of the season are not yet eon eluded at this fashionable Watering-place. This week has been a round of gaiety and festive mirth. Balls and suppers have been given by Lady Tal bot, Captain and Misses Baker,'Dr. Jones, NI. D., aril] Mrs. Poole, each in a style of snroptuotis splendour.
